Working with depesz, I have found the cause. The code I added to fix
pg_upgrade in 9.0.4 and earlier releases didn't handle old 8.3 servers
properly. I mistakenly processed toast table with the same pg_dump
query as used for pre-8.4 toast tables, not realizing those were not
functional because there were no reloptions for toast tables in pre-8.4.

The attached applied patches fix all releases. This will have to be
mentioned in the 9.0.5 release notes, and we should probably do the same
kind of announcement we did when I fixed this for 9.0.4. :-(

Yeah, I should not have caused this bug. It did not show up in any of
my testing.
